Accreditation standards require that the clinical education component of the curriculum be at least two full years in duration. Athletic Training majors need to be routinely available during typical practice and game times in order to fulfill the clinical education requirements. Freshmen will need to accumulate at least 150 hours of observational time in the athletic training facility in order to be eligible for admission into the ATEP. Sophomores will be scheduled to work (approximately 8-10 hours per week) with one of the on-campus Certified Athletic Trainers to expose them to collegiate athletic training services. The junior and senior years are devoted to completing extensive clinical assignments, including working under the supervision of a certified athletic trainer with a lower extremity sport, an upper extremity sport, an equipment intensive sport such as football, and a general medical clinical education rotation. Upperclassmen can anticipate working 12-20 hours per week. Students majoring in athletic training are not encouraged to participate in intercollegiate athletics.
